Eminent domain abuse

Assembly Bill 138 would have put the eminent domain reform question on the ballot this November but was tabled.
Pressure must be applied to legislators who stood in the way of reform. Assembly Speaker Joseph Roberts (D-Camden), no friend to property owners, must be beaten this November. Senate President Richard Codey (D-Essex), who has clearly sided with mayors using eminent domain for private gain, must be confronted as well.
We must stop eminent domain abuse from doing more harm to property rights. The Legislature has failed to produce reform in the last two years. On June 21, 48 Assembly members voted to table Bill 138. Let's start with them. If they want to serve us in an elected capacity, let them protect us from further eminent domain abuse. Otherwise, let's send them back to private life.
Many people think it's too late to do anything. The deadline to run candidates has passed, people are trapped in litigation over this issue and we are worn down. We cannot quit. We must continue to fight all the way to the polls to change this thing that has harmed so many in our state.
